How to Get Team Up Abilities in Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals comes packed with over 33 different superheroes that can be mixed and matched in any way to create teams of 6. If my math is any good, that makes like over a million different combinations of teams. Now, that’s a number that I am sure none of us in their right mind would be able to achieve.
However, we don’t have to spend hundreds of hours to find out some of the best team combinations and their unique abilities. We already know all the possible team compositions that actually unlock some powerful abilities that help you turn the tide of the battle in your favour.
What are Team Abilities?
Before we even begin to talk about how many Team Abilities there are, let’s talk about what they actually do? Well, they are basically like these cool buffs that your overall team can get when you combine characters that have some sort of overlap between their personality or nature. This helps them unlock these cool buffs for the whole party.
These abilities can be both offensive and defensive; they can help you revive your mates, or help you… un-alive your enemies. And there are a total of 15 different team-up combos. I know they are not a lot, but they are enough for us to have so many different playstyles.
Every Team-Up Ability and Hero Requirement
In this list below, I have listed all 15 possible team-ups and the abiliites (or buff) that you unlock with it.

| Chilling Charisma | Luna Snow, Namor, & Jeff | Luna Snow's ice energy boosts Namor & Jeff's water attacks for higher damage. |
| Dimensional Shortcut | Magik, Black Panther, & Psylocke | Magik's Limbo ability lets Black Panther and Psylocke travel back in time for health regeneration. |
| ESU Alumnus | Spider-Man & Squirrel Girl | Spider-Man shares Web Bombs with Squirrel Girl, enabling her to launch immobilizing explosives. |

| Voltaic Union | Thor, Storm, & Captain America | Thor enhances Storm and Captain America's electric abilities, allowing Storm to summon lightning and Cap to electrify enemies. |
What's The Best Team-up Ability?
There's not a single best team up abiliity, it depends on many factors, the rivals you are up against, your prefered playstyle, and your teammates. However, there can be favorites, and for me, I really love Guardian Revival, and Ammo Overload, both of these are increidbly powerful. However, it's worth noting that some team up combinations can have multiple abilities. Heroes like Rocket, Hulk, Thor, Jeff and Spider-Man all can be combined to have more one team-up ability.
